At least two members of the Nationals’ projected Opening Day roster are expected to participate in this spring’s World Baseball Classic, with Joey Meneses and Erasmo Ramirez among those named to their home countries’ preliminary rosters. Meneses (Mexico) and Ramirez (Nicaragua) were formally included on the WBC preliminary rosters that were reporte

Nothing has changed with the Orioles rotation as we enter a new week. The same group of candidates for five spots, led by … we don’t know. The thought of an open competition really intrigues. Then again, so does a trade for a legitimate No. 1 starter, but don't leave a candle burning for Miami's Pablo López, because he's headed to the Twins. Nothin

The 2023 Major League Baseball season will be unique in a few ways with some new rules coming to the majors for the first time. Such as the use of the pitch clock. Will Orioles pitchers have any issues adjusting to the clock? We can’t know this answer yet, obviously, but I am going to guess any issues will be minimal. Under the new rules, pitchers

Joey Meneses took the Nationals and the major leagues by storm over the season’s final two months last year. The 30-year-old rookie had spent 10 years in the minors, Mexican and Japanese professional leagues before having his contract selected by the Nationals and making his major league debut on Aug. 2 against the Mets. Not many people knew who Me

A new top 101 baseball prospects ranking again gives lots of love to the Orioles, with eight players included on the list. Just not the exact same eight that made Baseball America’s top 100 this week. Baseball Prospectus also puts infielder Gunnar Henderson at No. 1 while he retains his eligibility. The two publications are in agreement here. Pitch

The Nationals’ best hope for significant improvement in 2023 is through a significantly improved rotation. It’s really as simple as that. The 2022 Nats rotation was awful. That group’s 5.97 ERA didn’t just rank last in the majors, it ranked last in club history. By leaps and bounds. Only three previous times had the Nationals ended a season with a

The 2016 season was a good year for the Orioles. They won 89 games and they made the playoffs before one swing in the American League wild-card game ended their season in Toronto. But the calendar year began with the Baseball America release of its top 100 prospects list. There were no Orioles among the top 100. Zero. The year before, only two were

The revelation this week that the Orioles led the majors with eight players ranked among Baseball America’s top 100 prospects, the most in franchise history, illustrated the massive gains made by a farm system that routinely drew heavy criticism for its light weight. Only the second team to have two different players, catcher Adley Rutschman and in

The Baltimore Orioles have teamed up with Levy, the market leader in creating unforgettable hospitality experiences at sports and entertainment venues, to craft an elevated food and beverage experience for fans visiting Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The partnership will kick off with the 2023 season, when Levy’s team will welcome fans with new signa

The competition for bullpen spots on the Orioles roster got a little deeper this morning. The club announced that it signed right-hander Reed Garrett to a minor league contract, which could put him on the list of spring training invites. Pitchers and catchers report to the Ed Smith Stadium complex on Feb. 15, with the first workout held the followi
